Trying to send a group message with an iphone with a pdf file attached. I get an error message that says "Message faile to send". Any ideas?

Any ideas on why group messaging will not work in this situation? The pdf is small in size (2.2MB). Sending to 7 users, 5 of which have iphones and 2 have android devices. All of the correct settings are set. Have followed all troubleshooting from the APPLE site.

Hey, Tlarson53.


I see that you're unable to send a small attachment in a group message on your iPhone, and I'm glad to help.


About iMessage and SMS/MMS -- When sending an attachment, make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on.


If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- If MMS Messaging was already on, this article provides the information and steps that you need.


If this doesn't correct the problem, please describe the issue in greater detail. Please include the text of any messages you receive. The more information you provide, the better we'll be able to offer additional guidance.


Let me know how that goes, and take care!
